Good. I was wondering if I should roll my stuff back to the procedural db interface or not. I guess I won’t for now.

Ya, I got a shirt, thanks. Aki got one to me just before I left. Whew! I wore it this afternoon as well, although you probably couldn’t tell. I’m really glad you liked it! I was impressed with the three screws on the back. A nice touch (if perhaps a bit cruel), I thought.

No, no. Just going to get the darn code changes live and eventually eliminating the customer site’s dependency on the PRI DB. Then setting up the last few dev queues, hiring, brining the new folks up to speed, making sure everyone in the company is getting served (in the McDonald’s sense, not the street dancing sense), and then with your help finding ways to make things better for y’all.

Man, i sound like such a manager type now. Terrifying, really.

Dude, those shirts were awesome. You got one, yeah?

I mean, if I woke up and he had rebroken my arm I’d be even more pissed, so I figure that’s the judgement call he made. I don’t want to second guess too much. But I had really been looking forward to getting the plate out. Now it seems like it’s permanent. Though I think I could demand another surgery if i wanted to push my luck.

I’m pretty pissed about the laptop, too. My homeowner’s insurance might cover part of the cost, actually. Though I don’t know if i can come up with a receipt. And I do pretty regular backups: last one was March 15th. So I only lost a few personal data items.

I didn’t want to buy a 15″ MacBook Pro, and I didn’t want to buy another 17″ G4. So Sophie has lent me her older 15″ PowerBook for the time being so i can wait out the 17″ MacBook Pro. Rumors place it in May sometime.

Still disappointed though. My guitar as allen screws. But my laptop has torx. The screws in my arm cost more than my laptop, so I woulda thunk….

He did mention the idea of drilling them out. He said it’s an option but it’s a little more risky. I didn’t press him, but if I asked him to do it he probably would, it seemed like. But I got to take a break again. Surgery takes a lot out of you or something.

Which he had also broken while “arm wrestling”.

Seriously.

And I’m sure they didn’t want to put another hole in da bone. You gots, like, marrow in there and shit.

But man, that sucks. I would have thought they’d be a little better about how they do this shit. I **guess** a phillips head screw is better than a flathead but it’s still kind of disturbing that surgical screws can get stripped.

You should at least have had him put an rfid tag in there while you were opened up. Or maybe etch “VAN HALEN RULES!” on the plate.

I’m not sure which I’d be more pissed about though, the stolen laptop and goods or the plate still being in my arm now with only three screws. Wouldn’t it have made more sense if the things going to be stuck in there anyhow to put the rest of the screws back in? I don’t know but I advise hitting someone.

The Intel iMac they got me for work is pretty nice but it’s not perfect. It hangs up here and there sometimes just trying to log in from my screen saver and I end up rebooting a lot. Well, not as much as I used to reboot PCs but more often than my PowerBook now.

That said I can’t say I’ve had any major issues as yet.

This is the same dude who put the screws in. The guy I was ragging on was some dude from Vegas who claimed that a) the pain in my arm had nothing to do with the plate and b) there was no risk later in life from leaving the plate in.

But yeah, oldschool or not he stripped a screw. I wish I had been awake and I could have given him some advice. I’ve had to deal with plenty of stripped screws before.
